Post wash: reclaiming a screen-set

Placeholder for now until the mechanism/layout by which you identify and administer the screen-sets that will be reclaimed POST WASH
Expectation is that this will be an ipad layout

Background

When a screen-set is washed after the print job has completed, it may be decided that there is no likelihood of the job order being repeated. If the job order will not be repeated, it is inefficient to file the screen-set in the warehouse shelves. A better option would be to reclaim the screen, by removing the exposed image from the mesh and returning it back into a blank state, where it can be washed, de-greased and then coated with emulsion ready to be used again.

About this task

This topic will instruct you how to update strokeone to reflect that the screen-set has been reclaimed post washing.

Note:

This topic does not instruct you in how to physically reclaim the screen-set as that is a manual process external to strokeone.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have completed the following tasks in strokeone before proceeding :-

Opened the Stencils Required Layout

Procedure

Within the Stencils Required layout, locate the screen-set record for the screen set you are going to reclaim
Tip: You can use the screenset number on the screens' printed labels to cross reference to the screen-set number in the Stencils Required Layout.
Open the screen-set record identified in step 1)
Locate the Post Wash action buttons in the upper portion of the layout.
(circled in the below screen-shot)
From within the Post Wash section, click on the Reclaim button.
This causes strokeone to undertake the following processes :-
1. The number of individual screens on the screen-set record is counted
2. The individual screens on the screen-set are grouped by SKU / Screen Type, and a count is kept of the quantity in each grouped SKU / Screen Type.
3. The status for each individual screen in the screen-set is reset to Not started (red)
4. The status for the screen-set is reset to Not started (red)
5. The Location field on the screen-set record is blanked out.
6. In the screens control list, the following accounting entries are made
  1. 1. The in use totals are also debited by the corresponding SKU/ Screen Type group count from step 4b)
    2. The available to coat totals are credited by the corresponding SKU/ Screen Type group count from step 4b)
      
      click for example
      
      In the below example, screen-set 10600 exists and is in the wash status.
      
      It has three screens in the set - [1 X 49std; 1X 120S Std, 1 X 62 std ]
      
      Whilst the screen-set is in the wash state, the Screens Total list has the following totals.
      
      The screen-set is reclaimed
      
      at which point the accounting entries for the three screens in the screen-set record occur.
      i.e. for the each of the three screens in the set, the corresponding totals are adjusted.
      the available to coat totals are credited
      the in use totals are debited
